    0.09 O's today, again the forecast sun never showed up.

    I've looked at 3 forecasts for tomorrow, BBC says sun/cloud, Met office has dark clouds all day, my phone's forecast has all light clouds. At least none give much chance of rain.

    The sun appears to have gone AWOL. Not been seen in a week despite forecasts predicting otherwise. Halfway through the month and only 35% of PVGIS. No sun forecast for the next week, so hopefully that will be as inaccurate as usual.

    1.76 Os here. Not too shabby.

    Might make a profit on electricity today.

    Currently at -2p usage (not including standing charge) with an export to grid in progress for the peak hours.

  • A pale glow showed up late in the day too late to do any good, but it was quite mild otherwise, just 0.29 O.
